Help me name my protagonist

Posted by Taizen Chisou on Sept. 8, 2012, midnight

Story time!

So, I've been circulating ideas for something I'd never make- at least in game form anyway.

New Estherson

You , Insert Name Here, are dropped off into an anarchic state with about 240 other people between the ages of 14 to 30. Good luck.

The girl on the lefts' name is Suzetta Frost, and the one on the right is Isaac Steele.

Other names in the game include Alban Ginestri, Ferre Lei, Shanta Ann-Marie, Lorelei Amaretto, Taoya Matsuka, Carson Grant, Price Hearst.

All these people all maintain different alliances and ideals and plans, and your choices affect what happens.

Suzetta tries to instill order and law and establishes a refuge for others who feel the same. Isaac thinks he can get out of this if he kills everyone else. Lorelei establishes a police force and uses it to command the city, while Taoya builds a more guerrilla-style army.

You can go different places whenever and encounter different people and things in diffrent places and accept requests / missions / demands from them.

Sound like fun? Too bad, it's a comic book now.

I've split the plot points across five acts, and about 230 pages. This is a conservative estimate. The last book I made I estimated would end at 150, and was more in line to end at 250.

I'll be sure to post them here if people are interested, though. But until then, I don't think my peoples can refer to the main man as "Hey, you!"

Just because I pity you at this point, here's another one. Or a few. Try to find a something you like and just mix and match.

Pierce Woodholme

Dakota Cross

Haile VanCott

Kasper Sylveus

Calvin Pezesky

And I repeat:

This is hardly funny anymore, guys. It actually wasn't very funny to begin with.

Although, Missilekillington still makes my day.

That sounds a little like a "stripper name".

I have a hard enough time coming up with names for my own characters, lol

Usually I just go to a site with lists of baby names and look through lists of names until I find something that sounds good/seems to match the meaning I want.

i dunno if that helps you any though

I love that name.

A close friend of mine shares this name.

He's a swell guy.

Personally, I like the name Deme. It just seems kinda cool.

Or any kind of four-letter name that ends in ck that removes the c to make it look cooler:

Nik.

Jak.

Zak.

Why not Taizen? :D

Now that I've been serious on this blog (and gotten a decent result), I'm pitching Traizn Choosou.

@McFluffeh

Not Taizen because that's already another character.

@Thread

I might have found a good one. I'll sit with my options and pick one eventually.

Taizen Chisou 12 years, 2 months ago

All right, I think I've found a suitable list of things.

First names:

Tobias

Calvin

Casper

Dakota

Marcus

Farley

Tyrone

Lou

Surnames:

Newman

Pace

Estherson

Cross

Pezesky

Weiss

I'll go through and try out different combinations or something and see what sticks. If you like any particular setup out of this list, please say so~
